Your back will care someday. I cannot wear the things anymore, not that I miss that all that much. But stillettos are not good for tha back at all. At 5' 1 and 1/2" I used to love heels, but stopped wearing them when I became a nurse for the most part. Only wore them on special occassions, but now I have to stick to very low heeled shoes. Sneakers are the best for me, but when I dress up they are very low heeled.
